How would you react in a high stakes « people are in danger » type situation, and where your only tool to communicate is a good ol’ Nokia 33 10 ? Feel free to test our game and find out for yourself !
Navigate the Nokia using it’s clickable buttons and TREMENDOUS applications, such as : a calculator, a messaging system (wuuut), a dope ringtone composer, and our personnal favourite, Snake II !
Resolve the riddle, Memorize the code and save those people, Agent !
Solution : http://hpics.li/578d29b
Inputs
Navigate applications using the arrow keys on the left.
Messaging :
Send : Just like the Nokia 33 10, type your message using the 9 keys, delete the last letter with C, and send your message with the green Button.
Receive : Navigate received messages using arrow keys (left and right) as well as 2 and 8 (up and down). Click the Green Button to read a message and C (on the phone) to quit.
Snake : Use 2, 4, 6 and 8 to change Snake’s direction.
Ringtone Composer : Each one of the 9 numbers make one sound. You can make a sequence a 10 sounds max.

Very clever idea and I liked the execution. Being able to use multiple apps was cool.
I'm feeling stupid though in that I can't quite figure out what to do. *spoilers for anybody who hasn't played yet* Got the numbers from snake, put in that code in the calculator, it says "ok" and seems to spit out a musical tone, which I'm assuming you have to play the same tone in the ringtone composer to trigger the next event. However I'm having difficulty trying to recreate the exact musical tone.
My inability to solve it aside, I enjoyed it and thought the game was a clever take on the "ancient technology" theme
Thank you very much for your feedbacks ! We really appreciate it :). We're glad you enjoyed the game. Sorry that we made this a little bit too difficult tho. We added a solution guide in the description (http://hpics.li/578d29b ). If you ever want to keep going :) ! Thanks mate !
I like the idea of a realistic Nokia's simulator.
The implementation is also quit neat.
Good job!
Thank you for your feedback, we had no nokia 3310 device available to check if it was accurate, so we had to do with memories to emulate the phone. I know for sure thing that the composer didn't work this way, but it was too difficult to rememberhow it worked exactly ^^'.
If you played the snake game at first, you may have missed some messages, but it shouldn't have prevented you to finish the game.
Anyway thank you for your feedback :)
What a good reconstitution of this device!
More, you find a good story.
Congratulation, it is a great work!
I liked your idea to show how mobiles was in some old decades
Congratulations!
Also, I'm pretty sure I remember my old nokia having the left/right buttons work as up/down in almost any circumstance. I can understand if this didn't get put in because of time constraints, but pushing left and right to move up and down menus, or even turn the snake left and right would have fitted well with how I remember them!
Regardless of these issues, I had a good time with this game, and I definitely think this is one of the most inspired uses of the theme I've seen thus far!
